Hey Byte and Wes,
Thanks for your replies but Tarkus has hit on the one I want, thanks Tarkus.
my original question was not too clear I fear. I know you can open with
programs like WMPlayer but the PicaView operation is instantaneous play.
Very handy for quick play. I will check it out.
Cheers,
Phil

Actually Wes,
Queue-It-Up might be OK since it starts WMPlayer quick and I can't see how
to install PicaView without installing the whole ACD mPower Tools program.
Still looking at it all.
Thanks

Phil;

50 bucks is 50 bucks.
Queue-It-Up doesn't start any faster for me than Play.
Double clicking a file does the same thing.

I fail to see how PicaView is going to start WMP quicker.
I would be interested in knowing if it does. :-)

Keep having fun.

Well PicaView has nothing to do with WMP. It is an entirely different set
up.
If you like, you can download the trial ACD mPower Tools v1.0.2.0006 that
contains PicaView as I just did
http://www.pcworlddownload.com/multimedia-graphics/imag...
Then right click a song or pic or movie file name to see the action. You
may like it, you may not. You can then uninstall it.
